'La boîte aux lettres' - Pierrette Dubé et Aurélien Galvan

7/30/2022

 
Picture
Octave envie beaucoup son amie Félicie qui reçoit des lettres de sa cousine Célestine. Pourquoi n’en reçoit-il jamais, lui? Probablement parce qu’il n’a ni boîte aux lettres ni cousine. Pour régler ces petits détails, Octave se rend chez le quincaillier. Celui-ci lui vend une magnifique boîte aux lettres et lui donne l’adresse de sa cousine Winifred, qui vit en Australie. Maintenant qu’Octave a tout ce qu’il faut, il peut envoyer sa première lettre. Il choisit le W, pour Winifred. Commence alors une longue correspondance qui fera voyager l’alphabet d’un bout à l’autre du monde et donnera naissance à une belle amitié.

'The Language of Flowers' by Dena Seiferling

7/10/2022

 
Picture
Deep within a magical meadow, some lonely flowers receive a very special gift: a baby bumblebee in need. The flowers name her Beatrice, they care for her and help her find her wings. And as she grows older, Beatrice learns the language of her floral family -- messages of kindness and appreciation that she delivers between them. A gently fanciful tale of the miracle of pollination and the important relationship between flowers and bees, this sweetly affirming story, inspired by the Victorian practice of floriography, suggests the secret to flourishing is kindness and appreciation.
